Summary
Sara turns to face the Narukami once again, looks, yes, but sees, perhaps for the first time, the way her eyes crinkle, the shadows that nestle deep beneath her high cheekbones. She sees them move as the other speaks, as oil on water.
“And what do you think of that? Of me?”
“I—” she chokes, words failing her when she needs them the most — standing upon a realization as she is, on the prow of a ship far out at sea, having come across the detritus of another, all but lost to time.
It is easy to recognize their likeness, weathered away by five hundred years of storm and salt, until only the differences remain. Skeletal, fundamental as they are, “You have no God to turn to.”
“That I don’t.” An easy smile that pulls the shadows deeper still, an otherworldly creature that both haunts and awes.
Sara cannot peel her eyes away.
OR;
in the land of eternity, two strangers talk of all things transient.
